I Love the 90s!


BEFORE & AFTER

1973-1993
A major league pitcher toed the rubber for over 20 years, before retiring in 1993. Early in his career (before), he was considered a hard thrower and was paired up with another hard thrower (and future hall-of-famer) for many years. In his later years (after), he relied more on control and mixing speeds. It's been said of his fastball speed: he was "the guy who threw 90 in the 70s and 70 in the 90s."

I Love the 90s!


BEFORE & AFTER

1973-1993
A major league pitcher toed the rubber for over 20 years, before retiring in 1993. Early in his career (before), he was considered a hard thrower and was paired up with another hard thrower (and future hall-of-famer) for many years. In his later years (after), he relied more on control and mixing speeds. It's been said of his fastball speed: he was "the guy who threw 90 in the 70s and 70 in the 90s."

Name the pitcher. (2 points) I'll guess Nolan Ryan, but I'm sure that's not right.

Name his hard-throwing teammate (and future hall-of-famer) during his early years. (2 points) I'll guess Nolan Ryan for this one. I think that might be right.

Name the team they played on together. (2 points) I'll just pick the team I remember Nolan playing for because I remember him in that uniform -- Astros.

Name one other team the subject pitcher played for. (2 points) Oh good grief. I'll just pick another team Nolan played for -- Angels.
